Drawing inspiration from Mark Fisher's writing about genre fiction, film, and music, I recently wrote (and spoke) about communicating the Weird and the Eerie in the context of data #visualization design. #ieeevis #altVIS

🎉 Earlier this week at the #ieeevis conference in Melbourne, ""A Multi-Level Typology of Abstract Visualization Tasks", a paper that I wrote in 2013 with @tamara, received a 10-year Test of Time Award 🏆 .

I recorded a brief video (https://youtu.be/7Q2rWTNKPNc) and wrote a short blog post reflecting on this paper and its impact (https://ubix.substack.com/p/typology-visualization-tasks).

The award was also reported, along with comments from myself and Tamara, in a UBC press release:(https://www.cs.ubc.ca/news/2023/10/dr-munzner-and-dr-brehmer-awarded-ieee-infovis-test-time-award)
